(V-Mail Date: March 11)
Dear Mom + Dad,
Intended to write you an airmail letter today but I have
been so busy trying to catch up on back mail that I haven't the time now. This
will have to suffice. After that letter I wrote you last night after two days
of riding perhaps I should apologize. I was just tired as 9 hours in the air
there's no sense especially when you're actual day’s work is from 4:00 AM until
7:00 PM. I got a good night's sleep last night and am back to normal again
today. The tour of combat duty has just been raised to 30 missions instead of
25. All of which leaves me with only 26 more to go I guess things are getting
tough in the in this war. It doesn't
worry me as I expected it and knew it was coming sooner or later. We are again without a pilot as we finished
our new one up yesterday for his 25th. Maybe one of these days I'll make first
pilot yet. Just keep your fingers crossed as I've had a few good words passed
my way. That's all for now. See you soon.
All my love
Bobby
